Michigan has a 4.25% flat income tax. Flat 4.25% income tax. Detroit and Grand Rapids are primary markets. Auto industry decline created transition economy. Low cost of living outside metro areas.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most triathlon coaches in Ann Arbor piece together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly and other monthly services. That's $636/year in subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,180.
Nexa gives you the ability to stop renting software. Your CRM, billing, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. No sync fees. It's a pay once — cut costs immediately. For triathlon coaches in Ann Arbor weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
You're on the pool deck before sunrise with a pace clock, running a swim group through a threshold set, watching strokes break down as they fatigue and reminding the back lane that form holds the pace, not effort. After the swim you head to the studio where a couple of athletes are on bike trainers for a power test; you watch the numbers, call the intervals, and note who's holding their threshold and who's fading early. The hard part of your day is the desk work: building training plans that juggle three sports, brick workouts, and recovery for people who are also holding down jobs and families, so a single skipped Tuesday swim has to be re-slotted without wrecking the weekend long ride. You review last night's uploads across three platforms, trying to tell whether an athlete is adapting or quietly digging into a hole. An age-grouper texts about her first half-distance race, and you walk her through transition layout, what to eat on the bike, and how not to blow up on the run. You run a lunchtime run session, coaching pacing off the bike so it doesn't feel like running on stilts. Afternoon is plan-writing and answering a steady stream of logistics questions, then sketching tomorrow's swim set before you finally close the laptop.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a triathlon coach's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a triathlon coach — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
